Muse

An angel searching for answers, for her destiny...In the third MERCY paranormal romance, Mercy wakes in a new unknown host, her love for Ryan and Luc burning stronger than ever. But who will she make the ultimate sacrifice for? There's something very wrong with me. When I wake up, I could be anyone... Mercy is thrust into the excessive world of fashion when she awakes in the body of a troubled Russian supermodel, Irina: bitchy, hot-tempered and known to be dabbling in things she shouldn't, Irina is on the verge of a very public breakdown. Against the glamorous background of opulent Milan, Mercy continues her increasingly desperate search for Ryan to lead her back to her immortal lover, Luc. But this time Mercy is aware that her memories and powers are growing ever stronger - and she begins to doubt Luc as The Eight reveal more of her mysterious past. Are Luc's desires as selfless as her own or does he want her for a more terrifying purpose? The grand scale celestial battle for Mercy's soul builds to an incredible stormy crescendo as archangels and demons clash in a cataclysmic showdown that not all will survive...

So far, so good. More secrets about Mercy's hidden memories are uncovered and we as readers get surprised along with her! I actually just made the connection between the angels and their names. What if Luc is "Lucifer?" That completely threw me off my trail, and really put things in perspective. I feel like I should have caught that a long time ago, oops. Anyhow, this book really made things more intense from the first and second one, and an epic cliffhanger awaits! I really enjoyed the perspective from Mercy, now in the body of Irina the model. As Ryan later says, she just gets prettier each time. She really does change the world around her. 4/5 stars.

I like how Muse starts but I don't like the direction the series goes after the middle of this book.

**SPOILER ALERT IF YOU HAVEN'T READ 3**

You don't even find out what happens to Irina. It has turned from learn about Mercy through how she works through someone else's problems to this whole unbelievable Demon theme. At one point it doesn't even look like she cares about Ryan. I am TRYING to get through book 4 just to finish the series and hope it redeems itself. Very disappointing after the first 2 amazing books in the series.

I completely agree with the previous statement that this is the best of the series so far. A lot of questions are answered and the lead up is great for what's set to be an amazing final book to the series.

This time, Mercy wakes up in the body of a wicked cruel Russian super model named Irina. Her memories of Luc and Ryan are more vivid this time and her past is coming back to her... Finally after two books, the answers to who she is, why she's on earth etc etc are revealed! Best book of the series so far. Highly recommended if you read the first two.
